For young people
Our experiential pedagogic courses for young people offer effective methods for learning social, community and environmental responsibility. They also serve as an excellent channel for implementing the goals of the new curriculum, building safe groups for discovering young people's potential and strengths, and strengthening community spirit. The operating environment for our courses is Finnish nature, which offers unlimited conditions for growth and development in all seasons.
Young people's well-being and safe, growth-supporting experiences are very important to us, and we want every young person to believe in themselves and their own abilities. The starting point of the courses aimed at young people and youth groups is that every young person is good and valuable in their own right.
​
The main themes of our courses are;
-
safe groups and grouping
-
strengthening social and meta skills
-
finding your own strengths
-
strengthening of self-esteem and self-image
-
participation and agency
-
responsibility for oneself, others and the surrounding world
-
recognizing one's own resources and limits
-
developing the ability to self-reflect
